Experiments have been conducted to see if powdered coffee creamer would ignite in midair, and people have found that large quantities make beautiful, and pleasant-smelling, fireballs. The amateur film scene has jumped on this opportunity to create Hollywood-style explosions on a low budget. All one needs is non-dairy creamer, an ignition source such as a burning coal or a road flare, and such a way to propel the creamer as compressed air or a bicycle pump. One of the key advantages in using coffee creamer is that it only burns in midair; as soon as the creamer touches the ground, it goes out, making energy derived from coffee creamer a much safer alternative to using gasoline.[3]
Coffee creamer has also been used to whiten clothes (after mixing it with water to form a soaking solution), defoam fish tanks, clean dry erase boards as well as fake snow in television and movies.[1]
